Join us the rest of the week for the Eco-Faith Stuff Exchange!
When: 1st Winterm RFS: January 9–13
Where: All week, open all day in OCC – tables in the “triangle area” in the upper part of OCC, across from the Cafe
What: Everyone is invited to participate in the Stuff Exchange! Simply bring gently used items to contribute if you have them (no contribution necessary to take items home) and take home items that you would use. It will be our own thrift shop. Let’s exchange to prevent unnecessary purchases and waste. Distributed Learning students – pack something to exchange if you have room! Bags to carry items home will be provided.
Items for the Stuff Exchange may include: clothing, books, small appliances, picture frames, video games, instruments–whatever! Please make sure items are clean (please wash before bringing clothes) and usable. Please no swimwear or undergarments. Leftover items will be donated Friday night after the RFS.
Please bring your own coffee mug if you can! Compostable cups, utensils, and plates will be provided.
New Automatic External Defibrillators Installed
Three new Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) have been installed on campus. They can be found in the following locations:
1. OCC ground level near the elevator
2. Bockman Hall first floor near the elevator
3. Gullixson Hall first floor near the central stairwell
AED devices allow bystanders to perform life-saving actions for a person suffering cardiac arrest while waiting for first responders to arrive. No special training is required to use an AED; the device guides the user through the life-saving process. For more information, please see the manufacturer’s website.
